Who should I start for Divisional Round? Fantasy football outlooks for Xavier Worthy, Olamide Zaccheaus, DeAndre Hopkins. Our expert fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks.
There are eight teams left in the NFL playoffs, leaving fantasy players with limited options to build their weekly lineups.
However, there are plenty of talented players left in the playoffs, especially at the wide receiver position.
Should fantasy players start Xavier Worthy, Olamide Zaccheaus, or DeAndre Hopkins this week? Let’s dive into it.
Should I Start Xavier Worthy For Fantasy Football?
Worthy was the WR33 for the year, averaging 9.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. However, the rookie ended the regular season on fire. He averaged 10.3 targets, a touchdown, and 17.5 fantasy points per game during the fantasy playoffs.
More importantly, the former Texas star was outstanding in the Week 16 win over the Houston Texans, totaling seven receptions on 11 targets for 65 receiving yards, a touchdown, and 17 fantasy points. Worthy is an appealing fantasy option this week.

Should I Start Olamide Zaccheaus For Fantasy Football?
Zaccheaus had little fantasy value for most of the year. He was the WR74 during the regular season, averaging 5.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. However, Zaccheaus was a massive surprise late in the year.
The veteran wide receiver averaged seven targets, one receiving touchdown, and 15.3 fantasy points per game during the fantasy playoffs, totaling 19 or more twice. While he had a quiet performance in the first round of the playoffs, Zaccheaus is a solid option against the Detroit Lions on Saturday night.

Unfortunately, Hopkins struggled against his former team in Week 16. He caught all four receptions for 37 receiving yards and 5.7 fantasy points. Fantasy players should avoid using Hopkins in their fantasy lineups.
